My name is Grace Phelon and I am passionate about nutrition education!
As some background, I am a registered dietitian nutritionist. I got my BS in Dietetics and my Masters in Dietetics Administration. I have worked in school districts, community programs including WIC (Women, Infants, Children), residential treatment centers, as a Hy-Vee grocery store dietitian, and at Timpanogos Regional Hospital (including the pediatric and NICU units). I have a passion for nutrition education, especially with kids!
In my work and life experiences I’ve worked with many parents who feel overwhelmed and frustrated by all the nutrition misinformation out there and just want to know how to help their kids eat and live healthy. Other parents have told me of their concern about passing on their own insecurities, bad habits, and attitudes towards food on to their kids. Those are such important issues, especially considering we are faced with making food decisions at least three times a day every day of our lives!
I want to help parents like YOU gain the confidence to teach your children nutrition that will benefit them their entire lives! NOW is the time when we can have the most positive nutritional impact in our kids’ lives. With your help, hopefully we can help kids develop an excitement for nutrition and habits that will mean they won’t need the services of a dietitian like me when they grow up. Thanks in advance for your help!
